Advantech has also chosen to partner with Intel® to migrate its Intel®
Select Solutions for Professional Visualization with the 2nd Generation Intel®
Xeon® Scalable processors on the SKY-5240 server to fulfill the demands of high
computing power in the AI HPC, simulation, modeling, and visualization
applications. With eight 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable
Processors in a 2U 4-node form factor, the SKY-5240 can provide leadership in
CPU performance per socket in a 2U compact form factor. This allows users to
benefit from Intel’s experience in simulation, modeling, and visualization
application with workload-optimized performance. Intel® Select Solutions
provides a fast path for purchasing and deploying a cluster to enable compute
and visualization workloads with less cost, limitations, and system
challenges. Advantech is also committing
the SKY-5240 server to be a verified 2nd Generation Intel® Select
Solution for four sectors: Simulation and Visualization, Simulation and
Modeling, HPC -AI Convergence and Genomics Analytics are ready for the second
half of 2019.

Advantech GPU Server with Intel Persistent Memory Support

As the Advantech GPU Server SKY-6000 series upgrades to 2nd
Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, AI workload performance can be
improved with the introduction of Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory support—significantly
lowering the latency when fetching data from system storage. The persistent
memory technology can help boost the performance of data-intensive
applications, such as AI model training, in-memory analytics, databases,
content delivery networks, and high performance computing. The SKY-6000’s GPU
server now features higher application performance and availability through 2nd
Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors.

Advantech server products upgraded with 2nd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors are shown in the following table. To learn more, contact the Advantech sales team or visit the website: https://www.advantech.tw
